Moser Streamliner Alpine Drivers and Mechanics Edition

H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports have embarked on a collaborative journey, one that seeks to redefine the often superficial interaction between watchmaking and automotive racing. Announced to coincide with the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix on May 29th, 2025, this partnership has yielded two distinct timepieces: the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition and the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition. These watches are presented not merely as co-branded accessories, but as products of a deeply integrated, engineering-led approach, reflecting a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of precision and performance.



The foundation of H. Moser & Cie. dates back to 1828, when Heinrich Moser established the company. With its roots in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland, the manufactory has cultivated a reputation for producing exceptional timepieces, characterized by innovative in-house calibres and a distinctive minimalist aesthetic, often exemplified by their signature fumé dials. Over nearly two centuries, Moser has navigated the complexities of the watchmaking world, maintaining a spirit of independence and a dedication to horological substance. The company currently employs around 120 individuals and produces approximately 4,000 watches annually, a testament to its boutique scale and focus on quality. Furthermore, its sister company, Precision Engineering AG (PEAG), underscores Moser's commitment to vertical integration by manufacturing critical components like regulating organs and balance-springs, not just for Moser's own use but also for select partner companies.



The alliance between H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports, initiated in 2024, was conceived with ambitions extending far beyond the typical sponsorship model. Rather than simply exchanging logos or incorporating superficial design cues, the two entities aimed for a genuine synergy, grounded in engineering principles. The core question guiding this collaboration was provocative: How could a watchmaker with nearly two centuries of heritage contribute meaningfully to the relentless pursuit of precision and performance by Alpine's Formula 1 and Endurance teams? This question has driven a process focused on authenticity and a commitment to creating tools that resonate with the high-stakes environment of motorsport.



The initial answer to this ambitious question materializes in the form of a duo of watches, each catering to different, yet complementary, aspects of the racing world. The Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition is a mechanical chronograph, featuring a highly complex skeletonized version of the AgenGraphe movement, designed with the input of Alpine’s drivers. In contrast, the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition is a pioneering connected timepiece, the first of its kind specifically developed to meet the demanding operational needs of a Formula 1 team. One represents the pinnacle of traditional haute horlogerie, while the other embodies cutting-edge digital technology, yet both share an avant-garde spirit and a design philosophy born from practical, performance-oriented considerations.



The Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition directly addresses the desire of Alpine drivers for a wristwatch that mirrors the sophisticated engineering and aesthetic of their high-performance single-seater race cars. This timepiece pushes the collaborative envelope to the extreme for a mechanical watch. At its heart is the remarkable movement developed by AGENHOR, H. Moser & Cie.’s esteemed partner, presented for the first time in a skeletonized form. The watch's visual character is a direct result of dialogue with the drivers themselves, leading to an open-worked dial that offers a transparent view into its intricate gearing, much like a race car’s exposed engineering. The chosen color palette, a powerful combination of blue and white, serves a dual purpose: it evokes the sensation of speed and directly references Alpine's distinctive brand identity.



Visually, the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition presents a captivating spectacle of mechanical artistry. The complex, multi-layered dial reveals the intricate workings beneath, with gears and levers performing their ballet. The casing, treated with a Deep Blue PVD, contrasts sharply with a brilliant white integrated rubber strap, creating a striking and sporty look. Light plays across the polished and brushed surfaces of the cushion-shaped case, emphasizing its fluid lines. From the front, the watch appears as a miniature engine for the wrist, with every component seemingly optimized for performance and visibility. The hands, picked out in blue with luminous inserts, sweep over a landscape of meticulously finished mechanical parts, offering a clear reading of time despite the complexity.



The skeletonization of this model is not arbitrary; it draws profound inspiration from the racetrack and its high-performance machinery. Two prominent bridges, visible through the dial, are crafted in a distinct V-shape, an intentional nod to the triangulated suspension systems found on single-seater race cars. Adding another layer of motorsport tribute, the movement's central bridge is ingeniously shaped to resemble a driver’s helmet, honoring the individuals who pilot these incredible machines. Further enhancing this connection, the skeletonized rotor, uniquely positioned on the dial side, echoes the dynamic and aerodynamic lines of an Alpine A110 wheel rim, underscoring the organic link between the car's engine and the watch's movement with every oscillation.



Functionally, this chronograph prioritizes minimalism and immediate legibility, critical attributes in the fast-paced world of motorsport. It features a central display for both the chronograph minutes and seconds, eschewing traditional subdials for a cleaner, more direct readout. This design choice enhances clarity, allowing for quick and unambiguous interpretation of elapsed time. The watch is also equipped with a Flyback function, a crucial complication that enables the chronograph to be reset and restarted instantaneously with a single push of a button. This feature is invaluable in scenarios where every fraction of a second counts, mirroring the precision timing essential in both Formula 1 racing and the intricate art of watchmaking. The HMC 700 skeleton calibre, which powers this timepiece, is finished in a contemporary anthracite hue, reinforcing its modern, performance-oriented character.



The technical specifications of the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition, reference 6700-1200, begin with its robust steel case, which receives a striking blue PVD treatment. This case measures 42.3 mm in diameter and 14.2 mm in height, topped by a slightly domed sapphire crystal that offers excellent scratch resistance and clarity. Chronograph push-buttons are ergonomically positioned at 10 and 2 o’clock, while the screw-in crown, found at 4 o’clock, is adorned with an engraved “M” and features a white rubber ring for enhanced grip. A see-through case-back allows for an alternative view of the intricate movement, and the watch boasts water resistance up to 12 ATM, making it suitable for various conditions.



The dial of the Drivers Edition is fully skeletonized, providing an unobstructed view of the calibre HMC 700.
